I channeled a former identity yesterday at
work. Anybody who spent time as a Pentagon
staff officer knows his way around the PowerPoint program. One of my later jobs in the Army involved
preparing briefings for some of the high muckedy mucks using PowerPoint. I am nowhere near a master but proficient enough
to hold my own in the Pentagon which is saying something. At times it seemed the formatting of the
briefing was almost more important that the information contained within. Human nature can approach weird.
My boss at work was very impressed with the
work I prepared in short order once I found out I was making the presentation next
week. He seemed mystified by how I was
able to make arrows magically appear on slides.
There is always someone lower than you on the electromagnetic food
chain.
My presentation was used for a hour long
meeting with a reporter from the local newspaper. She seemed incredibly smart and quickly
grasped some things. Of course I’m a
little biased about journalistically inclined young ladies.
I’m about to head south to pick up my
favorite journalistically inclined young lady as my daughter makes her way up
from NYC to spend the weekend with her lonely father.
Last night I headed over to Zorba’s for my
weekly pizza fix. The Zorba’s waitresses
and bartenders are some of the nicest people in the world and several stopped
by to see when my wife would return. I
amazed myself by completely eating an entire large pizza. Usually I end up with a couple extra pieces
to take home with me. The pizza is that
good.
I then headed over the grocery store to lay
in some supplies for the visiting daughter.
I’m fairly well known there and I think some of the workers were a
little amazed I was buying hummus and vegetable snacks. I balanced it out with an ice cream cake
which seemed to calm some of the consternation.
Is it really March, already?
